I have passed my citizenship interview today in Kansas City, MO.
 
I arrived at 8:15am and was called shortly. They let my husband stay in the car. The officer ended up not calling him. I have had both removing of conditions from green card and citizenship test.
He asked me for my Ukraine passport, state issued ID, green card and interview notice. 
 
First the officer asked me some questins about our marriage in order to complete removal of conditions interview.
 
Then I have had civic test. He told me ahead if I will answer first 6 correctly this will be done.
 
1. What led to Civil War? 
2. Who is the governor of your state ( he first was concerned as I said the name of Kansas governor and he meant Missouri but because I live on Kansas side of metro area he accepted it.
3. What  is the capital of your state?
4. What is the highest court in the United States?
5. What ocean is on the West Coast of the United States?
6. Before he was a president Eisenhower was a general. What was was he in?
 
I have answered all correctly so we moved on to reading and writing test.
 
Than he started to ask me questions from my N-400 application such as where do I work, did I take any trips outside of the U.S. I needed to mention all of them and tell reasons I went.
 
He asked me my current address and previous address. He was able to fix one mistake I made on the application.
At the end he asked a lot of Have you ever questions, etc.  No definitions asked!
 
Then he asked me to sign on the tablet if everything is correct. 
 
Overall the officer was very friendly and told me that I should be expecting an invitation for oath ceremony in 2-3 weeks.
 
I am so happy to be done!!! All Glory to God!

Another vote for this

Perfectly normal, nothing to worry about.
 
I am assuming you are applying under the 3 year rule? I would upload as much marital evidence as possible to build the strongest possible N-400 case, even if you have submitted all that with the I-751. The N-400 is a standalone application and I would treat it as such.

No, their citizenship could have only been approved after their I-751 was approved. Again, the approval of your I-751 does not depend on you reminding USCIS that you have a petition pending, but it might help you avoid delays.

Both my I-751 and my N-400 are gone, too! I've read elsewhere in the forum that this happened to some folks. In those cases everything returned to normal a day or so later.

Chapter 5 - Conditional Permanent Resident Spouses and Naturalization | USCIS
"
In general, USCIS requires that an applicant for naturalization must have an approved petition to remove conditions before an officer adjudicates the naturalization application. However, certain CPRs may be eligible for naturalization without filing a petition or having the conditions removed if applying for naturalization on the basis of:
Marriage to a U.S. citizen employed abroad; or
Qualifying military service.[4]"

No, their citizenship could have only been approved after their I-751 was approved. Again, the approval of your I-751 does not depend on you reminding USCIS that you have a petition pending, but it might help you avoid delays.

I believe the thinking here is that the N-400 CANNOT be approved without the I-751 being approved, and reminding USCIS that an I-751 petition is pending could save you some time in the end by doing it both during the N-400 interview. Ultimately USCIS will do what USCIS does, but I don't think you have anything to lose if you mention it in your cover letter. You do you, obviously.

Hey so I was about to file the N-400 but that same morning I found my I-751 approval notice in the mail! No interview and the card was mailed to me on May 17th, according to the app. Looks like a lot of movement for people May 13-17th!! 

I just filed my N-400 online! LPR 3yr anniversary is 7/29/24, local office is Anchorage, AK.

3 weeks. My timeline is in this thread a few pages back
No name change 
Would have preferred the cubs lol

That is SO cool!! Although I was hoping it would be the Red Sox Congratulations!

Same boat here! Final part of this journey that has been the most stressful thing I have ever done in my life 😅 This website has been a godsend from start to finish though.
Applied on 4th May, 3 year marriage 90 days early application, received confirmation and biometrics reuse immediately. I hope this goes faster than a recent greencard renewal for my daughter which took 2+ years 😬😅

I've read about people having issues on  multiple forum, apparently there is some system maintenance going on. See here:

Well. So much for that   The interview today went great and they scheduled the oath for….. tomorrow! We have to drive all the way back to Fairfax ( 2.5 hrs each way!) but heck who really cares? This will all be over by noon! 
 
good luck everyone! 

are you and tucson-laramie the same person?

Don't know what info you are referring to, but just because you didn't wait long enough does not make it "bad".

Irrespective of "bad info" or good info on a public forum, the choice of when to apply for N400 is for the individual applicant. 

He asked me 4  

The law officially got announced today, will go into effect 6/26/24!

And my I-751 just changed to case was transferred.

Re-posting from the I-751 thread. Back from my I-751/N400 interview at the Fairfax office. In a surprising turn of events it was a virtual interview. The officer told me it would be a combo interview, but they never called my spouse in. I had uploaded lots of evidence documents with my N400 (combining finances, taxes, leases etc.) and that seemed to have sped it up.
 
Interview lasted 10 minutes - civics questions first (how many senators, how long do they serve, what rights are protected in the first amendment, who is the speaker of the house, two US holidays, promise you make when becoming a citizen), confirmed address, updated a couple of errors I made on the N400 form, and asked if we had filed taxes. Done and conditionally approved pending I-751 approval - said it would take 2-3 days for the I-751 to get transferred, 2-3 weeks for approval, oath scheduling could be as fast as a couple of weeks. I let them know i was travelling all of May and they said they would shoot for June.

Congratulations! Just goes to show that every case is different and there is no one-size-fits-all approach!
